Using Endpoint Testing
Manager (ETM)
How To Use ETM
Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) software provides the user with the ability to verify accurate
module-to-meter, meter-to-module, module-to-network, and network-to-module communications.
This chapter provides detailed instructions for navigating the software.
Access to Endpoint Test Manager
ETM users must be authenticated into Command Center prior to accessing the ETM application and
communicating with devices in the network. The designated Security Administrator for the utility is
responsible for configuring the connection to the Command Center server, and for providing log in
credentials (including user names and passwords) for those who will require access to the software.
Setting Up Access to the Command Center Server
Before launching the ETM software, a link to the Command Center server must be created. Follow
the steps below to create the link to the Command Center server.
• Launch ETM software. The ETM Sign in screen will open. On an initial launch of ETM, the
ETM user must be authenticated with the Command Center server. The Command Center
server connection places an authentication token on the user’s computer. This token is valid
for a time specified by the Command Center Administrator. On succeeding launches, the
Server Name field may display Offline, and may display Offline during future logins. Users
may login to ETM without Command Center server connection, as long as their
authentication token is valid.
